Hikari Bacto-Surge Large Foam Filter

Product details

Hikari Bacto-Surge Large Foam Filter (96044) is an air-driven sponge filter designed to provide mechanical and biological filtration in aquarium water. It uses a highly porous polyether sponge with many microscopic pores so aerobic beneficial bacteria can colonize on the surface. In practical terms, it helps keep water clearer by trapping suspended particles while also supporting the biological filtration process for aquariums up to 75 gallons. This model is the “Large” size; an air pump is not included, so you’ll need to pair it with an appropriately sized aquarium air pump and airline.

Features:

• Air-driven sponge filtration for mechanical and biological water treatment
• Highly porous foam offers extreme surface area for aerobic bacteria colonization
• Thousands of microscopic pores help increase bacterial activity in the filter
• Soft sponge material is designed to be cleaned without damaging the foam
• Uplift tube and air diffuser work together for strong lift and help prevent easy clogging
• Polyether foam is intended for longer filter life
• Multi-purpose use: polishing filter for canister setups, hang-on style use, or uplift tubes for undergravel filtration
